superblock

A superblock is a larger block of land or a city area that comprises multiple smaller blocks or parcels. In urban planning, it often refers to a design where several city blocks are combined to create a larger, pedestrian-friendly space. This concept typically reduces vehicle traffic and encourages walking, cycling, and social interaction. Superblocks can include parks, plazas, and community spaces, aiming to improve the quality of urban life by promoting sustainability and a sense of community. This approach can help cities become more livable and enjoyable for residents.
